Abstract
This session covers quality control and assurance techniques associated with the construction of MSE walls. For proper performance and long-term durability, all elements of the MSE wall construction must be subject to QC/QA, including the subgrade preparation, leveling pad, fill and backfill materials and compaction, and placement of reinforcement and facing panels. Potential performance problems associated with inadequate field quality control of these elements will be discussed.
